Every time an episode ends my thought it basically "that's it?". It feels fluffy and empty this year, with no real content. 

Yeah, I think since the number of shows is less than in past years, they are trying to cram lots of little snippets of different dances, choreographers, the confessionals, etc., into each program.  And because of not showing larger dance sequences and the use of the masks, I still don't know who is who.  A definite empty feeling as FutureCPA18 said.

That's completely fine. Perhaps I am reading too much into things. I have no way of knowing anything for sure. My theory: Brennan's mask seems bold to wear to the first meeting. If she is bold, she is likely also outspoken during training camp about precautions or lack of precautions. In the deleted scene Kelli says they are looking for a team of "we" and do not want to hear about concerns for "I." My impression is that Kelli doesn't really enjoy girls who display strong opinions. I could definitely be wrong.

I missed that part.  I would assume concerns began from some before TC officially began and she isn't happy about it.  Kelli is all about empowering women when SHE empowers them - not when they have their own opinions.  And I'm sure since she "stayed up all night" worrying about giving them a TC experience for this year, she won't think too kindly of those who don't appreciate her efforts.

Right? The woman had COVID, maybe she was a terrible hand washer and sees the mask as a kind of public service.

I agree with your point but I also think Kelli just takes whatever issue or complaint or any criticism and makes it about her or the team specifically or just misinterprets any comment that isn’t a “Yes, ma’am”. I can never get over how she misinterpreted Shaina’s comment about her saying “God was putting a roadblock” and Kelli (COMPLETELY forgetting that the girl was grieving and going through a rough time mentally) made that comment about her almost to justify Shaina’s cut more. 
 

Hannah and Brennan had an issue of how things were being done has nothing to do how they were as an organization and directors but they had to take it too personally and cut Brennen and Hannah. Knowing how well spoken they are, I’m sure they weren’t bashing Kelli or Judy or The DCC as a whole. Even with Shannan’s cut just cause she wasn’t bawling her eyes out or trying to convince Judy or Kelli to keep her doesn’t mean she thought any less of being a DCC.

Oh no, that sucks!  She strikes me as one that probably had an easy password for a fan to guess...perhaps #1DCC  😆

Although I'm not a fan of hers, I do feel for her (especially if she loses all her old post/memories bc of it).  I'm amazed by the amount of public figures (using the term loosely) that get hacked and we find out later that someone just simply guessed their password or were able to answer the basic security questions.  I usually lie on those for that reason 😬

I agree. VK is coming.

In my humble opinion the point girl MUST be photogenic, so my first list is a reflection of this. What my list also illustrated (I hope) is that the rookies generated a big influx of glamour girls.

If we account for East Texas bad decision making, the real list is a list of potentials, girls that are still in the running towards becoming a point girl.

Caroline Sundvold was almost getting there, but Rachel Wyatt's ascension to point diminished her chances considerable, unless, Rachel Wyatt indicated she would be leaving the team next year. Then Caroline is still a big candidate for next year.

If we include VK in this discussion, we must take into consideration that her impending inherited point position could only be outlived by Armani, Claire, Dani, Elli, Jessica or McKenzie.

VK's point position would bring an end to my big dream: Amanda as point. ROTY Kelcey would also be leaving the team without fulfilling her potential if VK does what she is being set up for. I am almost tempted into shifting all of my hopes and dreams towards Dani McGinnis from Puyallup, WA., who is really fabulous.

1. Armani Latimer*
2. Claire Wolford*
3. Dani McGinnis*
4. Darian Lassiter*
5. Elli DiGiovanni*
6. Jessica Bowman*
7. McKenzie Sherman*
8. Caroline Sundvold
9. Chandi Dayle
10. Kat Puryear
11. Kelcey Wetterburg
12. Amanda Dilks

Good analysis here.   I just wonder how anyone beats Sydney Durso’s 7-year modern era record, especially if you’re point at year 3 or 4.  Lacey would have clearly been able to spend ten years on the squad if she had wanted.  She would’ve been the logical point at year 6.  Maybe she could’ve kept it a couple years (6, 7). What happens in year 8?

Put another way, what guidance do K & J give?   We know they blindside the ladies with Show Group selection and demotion (Jalyn).  From the commentary here, it seems like during year-end evaluations K&J indicate what a veteran’s next year prospects look like.  I guess this issue hasn’t come up.  Most ladies check all of the boxes (SG, GL, PBC, VOTY, 5-year ring, Point) and go on their way.  
 

The Amy/Maddie years were just an indication of how limited the 3 year plus pool was.   And to your point, triangle section 1 is tiny .  It makes little sense to put a lady up there for a few seconds and act like she’s point.  So, what happens to Maddie next year?  The year after?  Especially, being a fan favorite.  I have to assume it would be time to move Maddie back.

Well, maybe they don’t want to give these opportunities to deserving girls with less seasons under their belts to kinda force them to come back. But that’s how you lose the opportunity to put a star like Bridget upfront before they retire. Sorry not sorry, but no sane person would put Lexie, Amy, Maddie or Tess up there ahead of Bridget if you consider talent and potential only and not seniority. Savannah is one of the most senior girls atm, that doesn’t make her point or triangle material.

But I also think that they haven’t faces this issue because the star girls either get the good stuff quickly and then they retire, or they retire after 2-3 years and go on bigger things. Then some blenders may stay for longer (Sydney never got much attention so they didn’t need to force her out) but they always risk getting cut in favor of a strong rookie. Then Jenna came back for a 6th year just to get pbc and point. Lacey could have done the same but by her 5th year she has been a leader for 3 years and pbc, plus I suppose it was her time to get married.

On 12/12/2020 at 9:21 PM, DCCFan2021 said:

I really don't get why she's so far back in both the triangle and the team photo. She's proven herself to be a very solid and reliable performer - not sure if she's got the technique for SG (although recent additions are questionable as well) but she got called out for power her rookie year by Travis Wall and by Kelly opening week her second year. She's also a locker room favorite, and was shown doing outside-the-studio stuff with two rookies last year on the show, so she's clearly a people person. So why is she being treated like a rookie?

Yeah and I recall during the GL meeting that she was called out as someone who never makes mistakes. As a rookie candidate. So it’s not about her dancing, definitely not about her being an ambassador risk... maybe she doesn’t suck up to VK? Juuuust kidding.

Which is funny because the girls didn’t speak up for themselves only. If you’re as selfish as someone like Kelli (sorry not sorry) you just focus on what you can do to protect yourself. They tried to support their team and protect their community so it makes even less sense if you see it that way.

If you watch closely, you can catch Alora-Rose in here a few times. She seems to be a smooth dancer, but it's hard to say based on just a few seconds of footage. I think the high-impact DCC style is out of her comfort zone -- she's not the first who has been like this. Either way, I feel certain she'll go back to New York when she gets the chance.

Her pics were never leaked - she was hacked and told K&J in case they were leaked.  They weren't happy cause the girls had been told to not have photos like that on their phones after what had happened before.  

OMG! Heather was punished for getting hacked!?!? That's just ridiculous, especially since she had the maturity to come to Kelli when it happened.  I think it's antiquated when she confronts cheerleaders for having photos on social media that don't show any more skin than you'll find in the swimsuit calendar, but at least that is something the women are choosing to make public.  Private photos obtained illegally are wholly different.  Is a cheerleader going to be punished for a stalker standing outside their window filming them undressing?  I was baffled as to why Heather wasn't point last year, but I guess it makes sense now.  Unbelievable.  Is swearing allowed here because I feel that my disgust isn't being properly expressed without a few f-bombs.

Ah yes, the completely reasonable directive of demanding 18-28 year old women abstain from anything of a sexual nature in private because there are creeps out there who may illegally invade your privacy.  Now excuse me, I'm late for my botox injections that I need to maintain my sex appeal.

Well it could be that it was her facebook or whatever that got hacked and she was afraid they found photos to send her long distance boyfriend or whatever. I doubt someone hacked her phone, found the pictures and then said eh never mind i’m not gonna use them.

And I’m sorry but when Kelli is ok with the girls acting like strippers for the swimsuit, the random catwalks and the legit stripperish SG number, but the hard line is drawn on their private pictures that no one will probably see or care about. And well no offense, but based on what Kelli considers to be their fan base, they would probably be more than ok with leaked nudes. I personally think that we follow dcc more religiously than the creepy dudes but Kelli disagrees.

 

[dreamcatcher]

Also to keep this more about the current social media faux pas, I’m wondering why whoever hacked into VK’s insta just deleted everything and changed the name. In any case, I may not like her but I feel sorry for her.
